Why the WP RESP API is causing so much hype?

The most important reason, in my point of view, is that we can finally create an independent (“WordPressless”) front-end. Now we can create a front-end without the need of PHP and the WordPress Theme API.

What about to create standalone applications in any language? An application that simply consume the data extracted from WordPress using JSON? Well, this is what the WP REST API offers to us.

Let’s create something cool with it.

One thing I love about what I do is that always are new things to learn and play with.

And this is a great opportunity to learn together.

Said that, I’ll start a series of posts to cover from start to finish how to create an application made in AngularJS and powered by WordPress in the Back-end.

The goal of this series is to develop a simple job board application with a standalone client that can be access from the Web and embed into a mobile app.
